What has been a great asset for us is the input and participation we as owners were able to experience in this process. The quality advice, honesty, and fairness on the part of DJ Construction as they work with architects, contractors, and local government organizations helps us as owners to achieve our dreams.

Part of that renovation involved the lifting of the carpet onto the fourth floor offices by using a crane, according to DJ’s Service Project Manager Robb Huber.

“The carpet was in a single 160 foot roll,” said Huber. “It wouldn’t fit in the elevator, nor could we maneuver it up the steps. The crane was the best solution.”

The upgrades required completely gutting the space, expanding the area from 4,500 square feet to an entire floor of approximately 8,000 square feet, and creating more individual offices.

The project also included décor updates to create a more modern, welcoming feel to guests and employees.

“The renovation allows Gibson to have all of our South Bend-based employees together in one space,” said Neilson. “Having our employees together makes it easier to collaborate and service our clients’ needs.”

The renovation took less than two months for DJ Construction to complete.
